This summer was the very first time my dogs ever had to get treated for fleas. I bought some frontline for them and my cat and it has seemed to work really well. But my back yard is infested with fleas! What is the best product out there for fleas that won't harm pets or kill the grass?? IP: Logged |

hi, i have never heard of treatment to get rid of fleas from outside. to stop the problem in the home your should be able to give you a good household spray that you use to spray everywhere in the home it is adviced to do this that way if fleas are on the animals when the come in contact with carpets they die instantly these should never be sprayed directly onto an animal tho providing you home and animals are treated regularly then you shouldnt have a problem with the fleas i hope this of some help to you IP: Logged |

They have stuff in the lawn and garden section at Wal-mart & Home Depot. It's a pesticide, so it kills other bugs too. IP: Logged |

Flees don't like Brewers Yeast. You can feed that to your pet but not to much as you don't want them to get fat. Also, brewers yeast,iodine drops/Vit E takes care of Grass allergy that black stuff that itches around the groin areas. Here is something I found here earlier. Take a BIG fat lemon (the more rind the better) and slice it paper thin. Put in a bowl with a tablespoon of crushed rosemary leaves (or a 6 inch sprig of fresh). Pour over with a quart of hot, near boiling water. Let steep overnight. Strain and put into a large spray bottle. Keep in fridge. Shake well before applying. The d-lemeone in this spray along with the rosemary oil will give your dog a beautiful shiny coat and keep fleas and other bugs away .. including mosquitoes, so you get extra heartworm protection. If your dog has dry skin or allergies add a teaspoon of tea tree oil and a tablespoon of Aloe pulp. Use the spray at least twice a week to keep the scent on the coat to repel bugs, and spray it around your doors and through the carpets. If it's a bad flea time, spray daily on the belly and feet to repel them. This has worked wonders for us for many years. Not only for the dogs, but for us when we go hiking or walking in the woods. No bug will get near this stuff. And, of course, it's all natural. IP: Logged |

Cool! I'll have to use it on my kids, LOL. Is there any reason why you shouldn't also use it on cats?
